Share Sponsored Jobs on Indeed and Glassdoor
You can sponsor jobs on Indeed and Glassdoor in two ways, depending on where your job posting was created:
- Option 1: Sponsor a job that was published from Trakstar Hire.
- Option 2: Create a paid posting directly on Indeed using a Trakstar Hire trackable application link.
Choose the workflow that matches your situation.
Option 1: Sponsor a Job Published from Trakstar Hire
Before You Begin
Before starting a sponsored campaign, verify that:
- Indeed + Glassdoor is enabled under Settings > Job Posts Settings.
- Your company email address has been added to your Company Profile.
Connect Your Indeed Account
- Contact your Indeed Account Executive.
- Ask them to connect your Indeed employer account to the jobs published from your Trakstar Hire account.
- Once the connection is complete, you can sponsor your published openings.
Email Template
You can send the following message to your Indeed Account Executive:
Hello,
I would like to sponsor jobs posted on my career site through my ATS, Trakstar Hire. Please link my account [client email address associated with Indeed account] with the openings posted from [Hire account name] on Trakstar Hire's XML feed.
Thank you.
Find Your Trakstar Hire Account Name
Your account name is part of your Trakstar Hire URL.
Example:

Option 2: Sponsor a Job Created Directly on Indeed
If you're creating the sponsored posting directly in Indeed, you can still route applicants into Trakstar Hire using a trackable application link.
Copy Your Application Link
- Go to Openings.
- Select the opening.
- Open the Candidate Sources tab.
- Copy the Application Link URL.
Create a Trackable Link
- Select Share a trackable link.
- Enter a source name (for example, Indeed).
- Click Copy trackable link.
The generated URL includes a source parameter such as:
?source=Indeed
Important: The source is only saved after you click Copy trackable link.
Use the Link in Indeed
Before using an external application link, you must have:
- An Indeed employer account.
- External application links enabled by your Indeed Account Executive.
Then:
- Create a paid job posting in Indeed.
- When asked How would you like candidates to apply?, select via an external site.
- Paste your Trakstar Hire trackable application link.
Applicants will complete your Trakstar Hire application, be added to your account, and be tracked using the source specified in the link.
